Spotlight on Class II and Tribal Matters with Aristocrat Gaming
In a bid to elevate Class II gaming and the Tribal sector, Aristocrat Gaming completed the 2014 acquisition of Video Gaming Technologies (VGT). Today, James Starr, president of VGT by Aristocrat Gaming, spearheads the push to launch a high volume of tailored content exclusive for Class II Tribal customers.
"Our main priority is to foster new and innovative experiences to fortify the Class II market for future generations," said Starr. "Recent releases like Hot Red Ruby Takes in Riches, The Hunt for Neptune's Gold, and The Hunt for the Polaris Diamonds have breathing new life into beloved VGT brands, characters, and introducing fresh games, mechanisms, and features on premium hardware."
Aristocrat Gaming, collaboratively empowered to revolutionize Class II gaming through the marriage of VGT gameplay style with Aristocrat's math, design, graphics, and other brands, will be showcasing a plethora of modern games at the 2025 Indian Gaming Tradeshow & Convention (IGA) in San Diego from March 31 to April 3.
Be prepared to see stars at IGA, as the lineup includes Buffalo Quad Power, Buffalo Ultimate Stampede, Chief Platinum, Hot Red Ruby Rakes in Riches, and Jackpot Carnival.
Aristocrat’s commitment to Class II research and development has shown impressive growth since VGT joined forces with Aristocrat Gaming. This momentum led to ending the standard procedure of introducing Class III products first.
"Navigating the challenging road to having Class II platforms, hardware, software, and content match Class III standards demanded substantial time, funds, and effort," admitted Starr. "Thankfully, the merger of VGT with Aristocrat Gaming came with a renewed dedication and resources, boosting the evolution of Class II to the next level."
"The stability of the Class II platform today hinges on continuous investments in technology," Starr added. "Resolving platform issues was pivotal to minimize downtime and bolster profitability."
By deliberating Class III products second, Aristocrat Gaming retains the freedom of selection, which Starr suggests is indicative of the tremendous strides the Class II product has made since the passing of the 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.
The creation of an environment where introducing Class III content no longer takes precedence empowers Aristocrat to make choices according to Starr, showcasing the Class II product's remarkable progress.
The strategic advancements in Class II technology have resulted in increased interest among Tribal customers for Class II gaming products and stimulated rapid growth in the Class II market, even in jurisdictions offering Class III products.
"Tribal customers serve as the primary regulators for Class II gaming," Starr expressed. "Most recognize the importance of sustaining their businesses and protecting their sovereignty by utilizing Class II gaming products."
Starr pledged Aristocrat's commitment to furthering the development of superior Class II products, expanding the company's inventory, and catering to the needs of Tribal customers.
